La dicha que no depende de los aplausos

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Luis Javier Moxó Soto writes that true happiness comes from receiving and living the Word of God rather than seeking public praise. Using the example of Mary, who was praised by a woman in a crowd, Moxó Soto explains that Jesus directed that admiration toward the deeper truth of how Mary welcomed God's word into her life.

The author points to Saint Thomas of Villanova and Saint Daniel Comboni as practical examples of this way of life. He notes that they lived out this joy through serving the poor and dedicating their lives to missionary work.
